Smoking a pipe in a gale

[antipodesman]

It was bright and sunny on the beach. The surf was high due to gale winds blowing in the straight today. Tried to smoke a bowl of Margate but it didn't last long. Short but sweet.

The first pipe I ever owned, a Medico filter pipe, burned through the bottom because I was smoking in gale conditions. Never again. I'm glad I learned my lesson with a cheap pipe.

I have one of these:

A little hat for the pipe. Fits all.

How adorable.

Hey Jiuni,you beat me to it! I was going to suggest a wind cap. Because down here on the river bank or even the front porch, the wind will enjoy your smoke more than you!

As an avid sailor I'm definitely going to invest in some windcaps. During this nasty winter in Chicago, I find myself daydreaming about the next sailing season...with a pipe in my teeth and my hand on the tiller.
Can't sail without wind and I want to have my pipe too!

Back when I started puffing I blew out a beautiful Edward's Dakota while working in my yard on a windy fall morning.Since that lesson learned the hard way I keep a universal wind cap handy either in the garage or in the truck.

Those hurricane pipes are too cool. Have to get me a wind cap.
